    TLDR Metabolic Syndrome is linked to several skin conditions, and stem cell therapy might help treat them.
    The document "Metabolic Syndrome and Skin Diseases" from November 20, 2019, explored the link between Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) and various skin conditions, including psoriasis, acne vulgaris, hidradenitis suppurativa, androgenetic alopecia, acanthosis nigricans, and atopic dermatitis. MetS, characterized by conditions like high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol levels, was found to be associated with these skin diseases. The document suggested that insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and altered secretion of adipokines could be the common mechanisms underlying MetS and these skin conditions. The document also discussed the potential of Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (ADMSCs) therapy in treating MetS and related skin diseases. However, the exact mechanisms remained unclear, and more research was needed. The document did not provide the exact number of participants in the study.
